Poll Stats, "What If", Fun Facts, and Trivia

Many thanks to Mediajock for all his hard work putting this very interesting information
together!

Folks,

The annual Media Boy Poll has always been a special time for us - a time to
reflect on a year of many memorable faces and performances. I have always
found this occasion to mean so much more then just who came in #1, but also
to be a celebration of great young talent.

So, to give us a more in-depth look at who came in where and who the many,
many standouts were - here is a numerical rundown of our poll results from
many angles.

There were 102 votes cast for any of the 444 submitted nomineesduring the 14 days the poll was open. From these:

124 different performers received at least one of the 1497 points awarded.

From these:

49 received at least one first placevote.

From these:

There was one clear cut top finisher but all werewinners.
